Publisher's summary

The celebration isn't supposed to end in tragedy. The night of their high-school drama group's cast party starts out as fun for sisters Amy and Erin.

Their lives come crashing down when Amy takes the car to get more food and has a horrible accident. Erin and her family pray for Amy to awaken from her coma. But as the monitor bleeps and the respirator hisses, Amy lies somewhere between life and death.

Erin and her parents must find the courage to accept the fact that Amy's life-support system will never bring her back. When she dies, can the family give some meaning to her senseless death? Can Amy's dying become the hope for someone else's living?

Pleasure to listen to

Would you consider the audio edition of Somewhere Between Life and Death to be better than the print version?

Definitely, the narrator does a great job of not only bringing the words to life but enhancing them.

What does Vanessa Koppel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The different voices for each character add a life to the story, and the narrator adds great subtext through her delivery that makes the whole story more complex and interesting.

Good book, great message, simple yet enjoyable read.

This was a good story that I enjoyed reading. It was well written as well. I would recommend it to teenagers as well as those who are dealing with tragedies or life-and-death situation is. Good book.
